The girl had to have seven stitches on her forehead after the incident at Brighter Day Care and Preschool outside of St. Louis, KTVI reported.

However, classroom surveillance video showed that the girl was apparently grabbed by the arm, dragged and tossed against a cabinet by the teacher.

The family’s attorney, Jennifer Hansen, shared the surveillance video, which wasn’t viewed by any school officials until five days later.

“One of the more egregious aspects of this case is that the day care director told the family that she did not watch the surveillance tape until the family was with her," Hansen told KTVI.

The teacher, identified as 27-year-old Wilma Brown, was fired after the video was reviewed and now faces criminal charges

A warrant has been issued for Brown’s arrest.

Prosecutors also charged 22-year-old Ariana Silver for an incident on Feb. 27 also allegedly captured by surveillance video.

Charging documents say Silver squeezed a 4-year-old girl’s arm and punctured her skin, and then carried the girl by her foot. Silver is jailed on $50,000 bond.

The center’s attorney says both women have been fired and the center has an “exemplary” record.
